Am I the only one who wants these? with Damage mitigation, having a 70-500 weapon is really really pointless. why bother using krayt tissues at all? it's just going to get mitigated out anyways. sure, in PvE krayt tissues are nice, but if you are using a rare crafted weapon in PvE you are a silly silly person. Are there any petitions or movements towards getting minimum damage enhancements into the game? I'd rather have a +50 min. Enhancement than a +150 Max Krayt Tissue.

Aclaky bones for batons and hammers.Yellow cubes can be used to enhace min/max dmg for some melee weapons.
Nothing big but we have to start somewhere.

I would also like to see minimum damage enhancements, but they would need to add to max damage aswell, otherwise we might end up with weapons with higher min damage than max and that would be weird.

there was a case I heard of that. some guy got some uber acklay bones and made a gaffi stick that was 340-300 damage. a CSR had him delete it because it A) looked suspicious and B) would mess up the Damage Mitigation system.
they just need to cap the min damage at the max damage. say, a DL44 has a max damage of 250. you can't have a min damage of 250, but you can have it as 249.
Min damage is better because it's better to be guarenteed to hit for say, 10 with a max of 30 than to possibly hit for 50 with a minimum of 1 damage. Also, min damage ignores the ever-lame Damage Mitigation, which screws over every profession in the game.

I have actually accidently crafted some items that had higher Min Damage then Max damage, think it was a two-handed curved sword or a grenade, can't remember which for sure. I trashed it though, was afraid that such a paradox would destroy the SWG universe in some bizarre space/time rift accident.

I got a strange Acklay bone the other day and made a stun baton with 200 min damage, 199 max damage. Not sure what to do with it.
